As Australia's construction industry navigates a complex landscape, the sector anticipates significant changes in 2025. Here are some key insights from our latest article: ✅ New financial disclosures relating to climate impacts now need to be made by large Australian companies. ✅ Cladding remains a significant issue.  ✅ NSW's Security of Payment Act continues to play a crucial role in ensuring prompt payment within the state's construction industry. ✅ The extension of Phase 3 and Phase 4 of the Project Trust Account regime in Queensland provides additional relief to smaller operators in the building industry. ✅ Changes to Victoria's Security of Payment Act proposed in 2024 could potentially be passed this year, expanding the types of claims and simplifying the adjudication process. These trends highlight the ongoing shifts and developments shaping the future of the sector.

The Strata Schemes Legislation Amendment Bill 2024, introduced to Parliament late last year, proposes significant reforms to strata management to improve accountability across the sector. Key changes include: 1. Increased disclosure obligations: Strata managers will face tighter disclosure requirements, with greater oversight on strata management agreements 2. New statutory duty: Building managers will need to act in the best interests of the owners corporation 3. Governance improvements: Strata committee members will be required to undertake training to enhance governance standards 4. Developer accountability: Tougher penalties for developers failing to provide maintenance/construction records at the first AGM 5. Extended Liability: The Bill extends the statute of limitations for damages claims related to common property maintenance from 2 to 6 years. If the Bill passes, the reform will increase owners corporations' exposure to claims, especially for latent defects. Stay informed on the latest changes.

Thank you for your continued support, we wish you a happy and prosperous 2025!

We extend our best wishes for a joyful holiday season and a successful 2025. Our offices remain open with staff available to assist during this period. We look forward to reconnecting with everyone in the new year. #HappyHolidays2024

The holiday season can be a difficult time for those in need. This December, our offices teamed up with some of our long standing Social Justice Fund charity partners to collect hamper donations. In Sydney, our donations supported Youth Off The Streets, a not-for-profit organisation working with young people, their families and the broader community to offer safety, support and tangible opportunities. Our Brisbane office had the privilege of collaborating with Brisbane Youth Service to provide pantry essentials and treats for young people in need, supporting those who are struggling to afford basic food items. The Melbourne office worked with DjirraVIC, an organisation providing practical support to First Nations people who have or are currently experiencing family violence by donating food items to support them during this time of year. Thank you to all who donated! Learn more about our community involvement efforts below. #YouthofftheStreets #Djirra #BrisbaneYouthService #HRpeople #givingback

Together with Canberra Youth Theatre, we're proud to announce Sarah Matthews as the winner of the 2024 Emerging Playwright Commission. Sarah's play, 'The Hit List', dives into the complexities of sexism and gender-based violence during the final days of Year 12 muck-up week. It's a bold exploration of class, gender, and institutional responses, brought to life through an ensemble cast of eight characters. Chosen from over 60 submissions nationwide, Sarah's work exemplifies the creativity and courage this program seeks to foster. This partnership between Holding Redlich and Canberra Youth Theatre highlights our long-standing commitment to supporting the arts and nurturing emerging voices. Elizabeth Carroll, Head of our Canberra Office, shared: "We are excited to see Sarah's play and will continue to support the Commission and Canberra Youth Theatre in the years to come." Luke Rogers, Artistic Director & CEO of Canberra Youth Theatre, emphasised the importance of the Commission in providing a platform for young writers. He notes the program's legacy of supporting the next generation of playwrights and its role in fostering creativity, artistic excellence, and innovation, helping young voices make their mark on Australian theatre.
